Mon, 23 Apr 2012 03:15:40 +0000http://natsinsider.wordpress.com/2012/04/21/finding-a-way-yet-again#comment-100664A few random thoughts on a rainy Sunday night :-)-I like the fact that most of the national media attention that was showered upon Strasburg in 2010 has dissipated.Now, he's just another ace. That's fine with me.-Even though it may seem like it so far, the Nats haven't been winning on good luck alone. A run differential of +13 is much more than just luck. -I think Henry should get the save situations with leads of 1 or 2 runs. Mattheus and/or Stammen should get the 3-run lead save opps. -I believe Lidge should be shifted to low leverage situations to get his confidence back. -I also believe that Davey should let Jackson pitch more than 5 innings when he struggles early but recovers. He seems to have a rubber arm, why not use it?-I love these Nats. Very good team! :-)

I get the same thing on my droid, but only from certain browsers, specifically Boat, and Galapagos, and probably others. I get the "REPLY" function for comments, too. Switch your browser to show the Web page version, instead of the mobile version, if it bothers you.

It has the right time everywhere else, including on the home screen, but it's deducting three hours off the time of all the posts here. Strange weirdness…

Not a small sample size for trends but a small sample size to project full season stats.Matt Kemp won't hit 90 HRs but he may lead the Majors in HRs. Pujols won't hit 0 HRs for the season.The Nats pitching stats are off the charts good as a staff. As temps heat up so do the bats. I don't expect Detwiler's stats to hold where they are but it isn't to say he doesn't stay in the top 10.

But keep him pitching. Let Henry keep closing, and on B days close by committee until Drew returns: Mattheus, Burnett, or if Clip is hot in the 8th maybe let him continue into the 9th. Just a thought from another clueless armchair general.
